General Chiang Kai Shek's resignation, though not precisely a bolt from the blue," is sufficiently startling to cause it to be regarded as by far the most remarkable event that was happened in chaotic Chiza since Chiang himself turned the tables on the Red." The recent succession of defeats of his troops in Shan- tung has been the primary and ostensible, cause of his downfall, but in a country where subterranean, methods are much more common than those of any other Hind, it is of course impossible to any precisely to what his deleat may be truly attributed. One of the telegrams bluntly states that as he is now very rich," he is not likely to re-enter, China's military arena. But even in China it is never sale to predict on rack a point. Stranger events than Chiang's possible return have often happened in China.

The situation generally would appear to be ever so much more complicated by General Chiang's retirement, but time alone can tell to what exent.

WUHAN IN A BAD WAY:

(Wah Tu Fat Pao.)

SHANGHAI, August 14th. Due to the economic blockade, enforced by the Nanking Govern- ment, Wahan has been thrown into a very harassed condition. The prices of daily necessities have been forced up tremendously. No commodity in the market is sold under $1. In addition to such terrible economic difficulties, the government public bonds issued by the Hankaw Gov- crament are unacceptable ia com- mercial circles..

Taking advantage of such a situs- tion, the Communistic elements are plotting to overthrow Hankow's existing regime.
